Happy couple married in August

We hired the Oculist in June 2024 for our wedding and it was the perfect venue for a non-traditional, informal ceremony with our families and friends. They brought in caterers to prepare food for 150 people and we paid for unlimited use of their photobooth which went down a treat with our guests. Thank you Lauren and all the bar staff for a fantastic day and amazing memories Xxx

Wedding: August

Will definitely be going back :)

This has got to be one of the best pubs in the centre of town! I took my Parents here for some dinner and it was lush. Really decent price and tasty! The staff are really lovely too, kind and attentive - Made us all feel really welcome as soon as we stepped through the door! We ended up staying for a fair bit as the vibes were nice and felt super cosy - Will definitely be going back :)

Wedding: August

In a small, somewhat hidden alley we found this bar that is a little pearl in Brighton. We loved it! The pale ale was one of the best beers I've had in my life. For those who like it, there is a nice photobooth at the entrance that allows us to have some nice memories of a night well spent. To repeat whenever we come back to town. We loved it. Thank you very much!

Stylish and vibrant

The Oculist Bar is a stylish and vibrant venue perfect for drinks. The trendy atmosphere, attentive service, and great selection of beverages make it an ideal spot to celebrate special occasions like birthdays. Cheers!

Came here recently as a pit stop for a concert on the beach. I could have easily stayed here for the whole night, though. Eventhough its on a busy high street, you get a secluded feel from the outside, in. Walking in, you're greeted with bespoke tavern decor and great jams from a resident DJ, giving the place a holiday atmosphere. Technically, there are like 4 floors to the place. Two internal and two external for the roof garden, which was an unexpected surprise again neatly decorated.

Unique venue, cool and quirky

Unique venue, cool and quirky with an assortment of clientele. It's a great place to chill out but still has an upbeat atmosphere with friendly people all round. The top terrace is really lovely, whilst the smaller terrace is good to meet other friendly people. The missing people DJ nights are usually good. I like this venue a great deal. I've been going there since last year. It's gaining popularity now and should as it's fab. It's a little piece of Brighton at its best.

Would definitely recommend.

This place is a real gem in the centre of Brighton. Great decor & it has an amazing roof garden. The staff are super friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for all your help!

Was looked after by Roxy and Nicole at The Oculist for a private hire event, professional and understanding all the way through, cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for all your help.

Good atmosphere

Lovely rooftop area, quick service on the bars, live music some nights which adds a bit of fun to it! Nice clientele here which makes for a good atmosphere overall.

Wow! This place is amazing! Came here for my birthday and had the best time.the two bar staff Hollie and anona were great! Will defo be coming again soon.
